The existing editors require that all new members of their team agree to act in good faith, as explained below:

Introduction

Spam and vandalism lead to a registered users only policy for editing. This restriction was not taken lightly, but it is considered necessary because WikiSpooks is NOT intended to reflect corporate-sponsored worldviews but is an outlet for those whose careful study of the evidence has lead them to fundamentally question the stories told by the commercially-controlled media. Editing this site is a privilege which can and will be removed should this undertaking be persistently breached. The aim of requiring editors to register, and making registration conditional on acceptance of this undertaking is to exclude those who are fundamentally opposed to the entire site rationale and its existence.

Party politics

Full article: Party politics

Neither left nor right is superior; they are merely two sides of the same establishment coin.

Deep Politics posits that existing establishment groups are more or less hopelessly co-opted by the deep state groups. This function of the established political parties is to preserve the status quo by promoting an endless energy-sapping and distracting dispute between their respective adherents over trivia, whilst cultivating a solid consensus on epoch-defining issues - usually by ignoring them totally until they become unavoidable. Far from being opposites, Left or Right, in the political sense are both de facto supporters of the establishment. Whether wars are fought for 'humanitarian intervention', to 'fight terrorism' or for whatever other superficial explanation makes no difference. The real reasons - the elephants in the living room - will remain hidden and discussion of them off limits. For practical evidence of this thesis, consider the gulf between Barack Obama's campaign promises and his actions on assuming the US Presidency.

No barrier to debate

None of this is intended as a barrier to vigorous evidence-based contributions that disagree with this or that aspect of alleged 'Deep Political' phenomena nor even the merits of a 'Left/Right wing' view of what society needs or does not need (though the whole linear political spectrum analogy is probably well past its sell-by date). It is simply to make it crystal clear that WikiSpooks is NOT the place for the promotion of ANY "Establishment" organisation or "official narrative" and registered users should understand that it will will be removed if it appears.

Registered user undertakings

So, registered users must agree that:

  1. I understand and am broadly sympathetic to the rationale and purpose of the WikiSpooks site.
  2. I will not undertake any article creation or editing...
    • i) at the behest of any third party - especially not an "authoritative" third party
    • ii) for monetary reward or any other consideration of personal material benefit
  3. I will not engage in activity here on behalf of any "Establishment" political party or other organisation
  4. I will confine my opposition to, or support for any "official narrative" to evidence-based argument and debate; whilst recognising that the site's prime purpose is to shed light on deep politics - exactly those areas where the official narrative deserves to be treaded with the greate suspicion.
  5. I will not engage in persistent edit reversals but will instead involve a site administrator to arbitrate any such dispute at an early stage.
  6. I will at all times maintain a courteous approach to disagreement.
  7. I understand that items 5 & 6 apply especially to discussion pages where although vigorous debate is welcome, personal venom and ad hominem[1] attacks are not.
